Lakes is excited to welcome back students on Wednesday, August 16 (freshmen only) and Thursday, August 17 (all students). Families will be receiving an informational mailing soon, if they have not already. In case you missed it and/or need extra copies, here’s everything you need:

The annual Medical Compliance deadline is August 17, 2017. The first day for FRESHMAN compliance is Wednesday, August 16, 2017. Freshman must have a completed physical exam on the DHS State of Illinois Certificate of Child Health Examination Form; this is the only acceptable form.

All student-athletes, parents/guardians, and coaches from all fall, winter, and spring sports should plan to attend Athletic Information Night on August 14 at 7 p.m. in the main gym.
